Our last days in Java

The unquestionable highlight: our last vulcano in Indonesia: Krakatau. One of the most active vulcanoes (you recognise the pattern, don't you? :-)) was again INactive. :-) But nevertheless it was a great sight with its prime location in the middle of the ocean.

We took our last days rather slowly and relaxed and spent them:
- burying our toes in fine black sand :-) :-)
- camping at the feet of Krakatau vulcano :-) :-)
- climbing the vulcano (although it was forbidden ;-)) to peek into its crater curiously, half expecting &  hoping as well as fearing to experience somthing extraordenary down there :-)
- reading & listening to music
- trying to overlook the trash lying on every beach :-( by, at the same time, trying to understand why the indonesians don't care a bit whether their rivers and seasides (and sea) are littered as much as they are, but instead keep on throwing everything over the fence (and that's not literally spoken...that's what they do :-( )
- rocking on big waves in a small boat
- sitting in trains & cars during tranfers
- sleeping longer
- trying hard to find something to eat during daytime because of Ramadan-month
- struggling to escape cars, buses, tuk-tuks and motorcycles trying to cross streets with six and more lanes in Jakarta (if you now instinctively think: "traffic lights" or "pedestrian crossing"... Forget it !!!! )
- fighting the thought of our trip together approaching the end....time is ticking away :-( :-( :-(

Again, as usual...we have uploaded our pictures.
Enjoy.....
